# Send in theirs and read it before they do

Pick a language in the composer and the preview puts what you wrote above what they will get. Nothing leaves until you approve it.

In short

## How do you send an email in another language?

Translating a page for yourself is low stakes. An email goes out under your name, in a language you may not read, so it needs checking before it leaves.

200

languages you can send in

3

model calls per translated send

0

translations cached between messages

How it works

## Read it before anybody else does

The translation sits under what you wrote, in a rich-text box, so a link or a list survives your corrections.

## Two hundred languages, proposed not chosen

Search by code, English name or native name. The language of the mail you are answering, and this recipient’s last one, come first.

## Your original travels underneath

Your words go below a rule, captioned in their language. A right-to-left translation reads right to left, and your original keeps its direction.

What you get

## In the product today

Choosing costs nothing

Picking a language spends nothing until you open the preview.

What you approve is sent

Touch the message after approving and the approval is thrown away.

No blind sends

Pressing send before previewing opens the preview instead.

Only your words

Quoted history and your signature stay as they were written.

Good practice

## Getting the most out of it

1. 01
   
   Set your own language
   
   Without one in Settings → General, a reply’s language is guessed from its script alone.
2. 02
   
   Leave the original on
   
   It lets the reader check a sentence that lands strangely.
3. 03
   
   One message, not twenty
   
   If twenty readers share a language, one message to all of them is one translation, not twenty.

Where it stands

## Works well with

Read in your language

A message you cannot read, turned into a language you can, without leaving it.

Writing tools

Formatting, inline completion and emoji shortcodes in the composer.

One sign-off for every address, and a different one for any address that needs it.
